Razor-sharp Puligny with electric minerality and chalky backbone.
Taut minerality cuts through everything here. Citrus pith and wet limestone. Chalky tension grips the palate. Saline finish lingers endlessly. Zero fat, all precision. This 2016 shows classic Puligny restraint with La Garenne's signature mineral drive. Needs time to soften but the structure is flawless. Will reward patience through 2030.
